Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Component versions:
satellite-6.9.6.1-1.el7sat.noarch
tfm-rubygem-foreman_remote_execution-4.2.3.1-1.el7sat.noarch
Problem:
When initial file upload encounters messages from stderr REX task sends this message:
~~~
1: Error initializing command: RuntimeError - Unable to upload file to /var/tmp/foreman-ssh-cmd-77a1b01f-74c9-4a93-818e-c0023724c1a0/script on remote system: exit code: PIPE
2: Exit status: EXCEPTION
~~~
This was due to a profile.d script that could have been executed better, here:
~~~
[root@rhel8new ~]# cat /etc/profile.d/test.sh
echo "This is a test message" >&2
~~~
The stderr redirection causes SCP to see the message on login, and this seems to be the reason for the REX failure. For example:
~~~
[root@satellite ~]# scp testscript root.com:/var/tmp/testscript
This is a test message
testscript 100% 10 11.8KB/s 00:00
~~~
The root cause is resolved by executing the profile script better. This request is to ask that REX provide more transparency as to the cause of the issue in such a case.
Verified on Satellite 6.11 snap 18. Having the above test script, the rex job does output the redirected message, which doesn't prevent it from executing successfully.
